There are lots of ways to go into practice. A lot of hospitals are now buying up medical practices or hiring doctors to basically work as employees...something physicians in the past would NEVER have agreed to! My group is contracted by our hospital to provide radiology services. Radiology is also a field in high demand with a shortage of physicians...always a good mix for the radiologist!
